“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
“The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them.” “A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.” “Martial arts is not about fighting; it’s about self-improvement.” “In martial arts, there is no end.” “The best fighter is never angry.” “The mind is the most important weapon.” “The more you practice, the better you get.” “To know yourself is to know your enemy.” “Practice_makes_perfect.” |
